UPS settings in openmediavault

nobody2311 · 29. Dezember 2015

Hello everybody,

I have got a question how to configure openmediavault for my UPS.
I´m using a Synology DS212j connected to an UPS (APC Back-UPS BF350).

This are the Synology settings (IP 192.168.178.33):

and this openmediavault (IP 192.168.178.30):

Can you help me to configure openmediavault?
Thanks a lot and best wishes from Germany

Try:

driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto

Hmm doesn't work

I got this email:
Communications with the UPS ups@localhost cannot be established

ryecoaaron · 2. Januar 2016

Is the UPS connected to the OMV box with a USB cable?

nobody2311 · 2. Januar 2016

No, my UPS is connected to the Synology Diskstation and the Diskstation is the UPS-Server

I missed that in your first post. The plugin doesn't work with remote UPSes. You could file a feature request for that here. It would be nice if the plugin could act as a network server as well.

Ah okay, I understand.. Thank you for your support

nobody2311 · 20. Januar 2016

I'm back
My Synology is offline now and I connected my homeserver directly to the ups.
I added the lines, but I got sill the same error via email...

Does your UPS show up if you run this in terminal?

Code

nobody2311 · 20. Januar 2016

No, I got this error:

Code

root@Homeserver:~# lsusb
-bash: $'\342\200\213lsusb': Kommando nicht gefunden.
root@Homeserver:~#

ryecoaaron · 20. Januar 2016

apt-get install usbutils

nobody2311 · 20. Januar 2016

Ok, here it is

What is the output of: upsc -l

nobody2311 · 20. Januar 2016

Code

root@Homeserver:~# upsc -l
ups
root@Homeserver:~#

Okay, I added this code:

Code

driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto

...and I became only 1 mail with "Communication with the UPS ups@localhost are lost"

Wait, I think it works.. I tried second time (because I set the time from 30sec. to 15sec.) without any email...

It works?

ryecoaaron · 20. Januar 2016

Should be working just fine now.

nobody2311 · 20. Januar 2016

Cooool, nice! Thanks a lot

I have a last question: If the server is in standby and there is a blackout, does the server wake up before he shuts down?

ryecoaaron · 20. Januar 2016

No idea. I have never put a server in standby

nobody2311 · 20. Januar 2016

Ok, I´ll test it

I unplugged the ups from the socket and the homeserver shuts down after 15sec, but he starts again after few seconds...?!

EDIT: I found the problem.. the owncloud desktop app would like to sync over the internet and the router restart the server

Jetzt mitmachen!
